Hi I tried to backup my whole partition with tar:
tar -cvzf /mnt/.../cache11.tgz . but when testing the archive result with tar -tzf /mnt/.../cache11.tgz It ends with the following error, without explaining what's wrong: gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now I thought about it and think the reason might be that I'm backing up to a vfat volume, which might have some serious limits on file size (but unfortunately, that's my only backup option now). If so, how can I backup my nearly 20G partition using vfat volume? rar can do multi-volume but can it understand all the special Unix files, symlink, hard links, named pipes, dev, etc? tar can do multi-volume too, but "You should only type 'y' after you have changed the tape; otherwise tar will write over the volume it just finished.". Any of the *commonly used* archive tool can achieve this? please help. thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
